DESIGNING FUTURE SOCIETY FOR OUR LIVES
The sub-theme of Expo 2025 Osaka title 'Saving Lives' prioritizes human well-being, emphasizing the right to protection and freedom from threats. Addressing issues related to climate change, health, and promoting equality, gender equity, and inclusivity are vital for the well-being of every individual.
The second sub-theme places emphasis on the utilization of technology. Given the inevitability of technology in both present and future life, the global community is expected to adapt to these changes and harness technology to enhance quality of life. However, the effective utilization of technology undoubtedly requires capacity and skills from humans to master it and avoid potential pitfalls that could have adverse effects on humanity.
The strong connections between individuals and communities are vital in this sub-theme. Through established connections, we anticipate cultural exchange, innovation, and inclusivity to flourish in shaping the future. Technology plays a crucial role in facilitating these connections.
The involvement of technology and the internet in the future will become increasingly integral to social life. The Future Society Showcase illustrates and provides a space to prove this inevitable reality. Furthermore, this showcase offers an opportunity to depict future realities with the most realistic picture of Society 5.0.
